Hi,
I am just played a bit with crossbow and build 46 and I am 
just impressed !

- On my system (with bge0) I creted a vnic1 interface with a 
zone. This was was plumbed and configured from the local 
zone during boot. With ifconfig -a I can no longer see from 
the global zone that there is this new vnic plumbed.

- vnic has used dhcp to get all the ip config (address, 
nameserver, router)

- I can also snoop from the global zone the vnic traffic.

- I can snoop from the local zone network traffic. But I can 
not snoop from the local zone the global zone traffic.cool !

- Each zone (global and local) has as expected his own 
arp-cache and routing table.

Questions:
How can I see from the global zone which interfaces are 
plumbed in the local zones, which addresses are in use and 
how many stacks have been created ?

I would like to see a zonecfg option to tell the zone 
explicite to use dhcp and not like today to use dhcp because 
no ip-address was configured.

Detlef
